I was NOT PREPARED for this .. Help me please !!!!!

[@paulinebradford4823]

I'd get in touch with J Diction and start asking questions, Claire. It could be product itself, or it could be something used in the making of those particular candle molds, or you could be fine if you use distilled water rather than tap water. They may already be aware of this and have some answers for you.

[@isabellrc]

Ooooo, no matter how much you love love, make sure this isn’t a chemical issue that could be an issue

[@mizzuzie3338]

It looks like something in the resincrete reacted both with the dye and the air so I'd guess some sort of oxidation. As it's the same colour the next day I think whatever caused the reaction evaporated quickly. It's a stunning effect either way!

[@RedRockingBird]

They’re gorgeous Claire…. loving the GREEN 😂

[@jennifermelvin8038]

I would be trying every color now to see what happens!!😉

[@WizardKitty723]

My guess about the color change- the resincrete heated up and denatured/ broke/altered the pigment which is fine in the other because it doesn’t get hot. I bet you wouldn’t have this color change with a resin pigment and resincrete. Notice how the bottom of the resincrete (while in the mold) was the part where there was more color change, which was probably the hottest during curing.

[@sandysanders4199]

My best guess is there is green pigment in the latte as well as a light beige, and the green pigment is heavier so it sank to the bottom. The viscosity of the Jesmonite being thicker, probably prevents the green portion of the pigment from sinking.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyy Sandy ... yes this is exactly what I'm thinking now after reading everyone's comments. It might be worth waiting for the resin crete to thicken .. but that's a dangerous short window 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@customMadebyACLD]

It's most likely the JDiction batch that you got. I bought some pigments on Amazon about a year ago and they turned yellow after I cured them (every single one of them). Called Amazon and they reimbursed me but they couldn't explain it. So I called the company itself and was told that the one I received was part of a batch that was bad. So I'd call JDiction and ask them. Can't wait to see your home channel. I love Interior Design and Decorating.

[@carlaross6451]

OMGosh I Love all of them, One of my favorite colors they are so beautiful. Can not even fathom how it changed colors. Really strange......

[@alpapatel4229]

All happy accidents turned out so pretty.

[@mustangsally5210]

Great video - thank you. I love a good conundrum! I've never used resin crete ( or anything similar) but logically, if it was a straight reaction between the resin crete and the pigment, surely the whole lot would have changed colour? So I figure there must be another element happening at the bottom of the mould - heat? This would drive me crazy 🙃I would need to experiment with different depths of mould until I found the point at which I got a colour change, then I would try all the other colours. After which I would expect an award for being a genius!! Or, at least, a beer😂

[@mookzmom]

You are my kinda gal, Sal!❤😂

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this so much ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lespetits3628]

I think it has to be with the heavier particles sinking to the bottom because it happened to me with a oval tray mold. But now I want to make an experience too to know if you put it in the fridge after pouring does it make a difference? 😂

[@DianasYTChannel]

Popping on real quick cos I couldn’t wait to see. LOL My daughter pointed out that since ResinCrete is made different from Jesmonite, that maybe a chemical in the ResinCrete broke down the latte pigment, therefore pulling a green element, or reacted with something in the pigment, that can’t be seen with the human eye. Maybe that’s why when you added even more latte that it got even darker. Just a guess. 🤔 For whatever reason, it is a happy accident. Claire, they all are stunning! Absolutely stunning. 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

[@LA8501LA.]

I just love listening to you speak and describe things cause you are so animated when you talk and you get so excited lol

[@Ali-H3444]

I have that beautiful tea light mold. I put little rinestones in each hole. Everyone loved them! I think it was a chemical reaction somehow. But I think they are stunning.

[@shirleyandersen4724]

they all look great love them all 🙋‍♀

[@eckyfumparkid3096]

I still love the green & the tray is one of my favourites of your eco creations 😊. Rainbows are my obsession 🌈😊 xx

[@sylviakelly4943]

I love your videos, to answer your question, why?Resign crete says in their instructions that the product is a natural mineral. Just read the back of your package. I hope this helps. ❤❤❤❤

[@michaelpearson1272]

After you cast a jesmonite piece. Rub it with a finger or thumb. You will see it shine. I polish my jesmonite pieces jesmonite shines up real nice from a finger or thumb. But I enhance that by using clear shoe polish and a tooth brush I buy a pack of tooth brushes from the pound shop.

[@antonietta2874]

I love them all. They are beautiful! Happy accidents are the best!!

[@DorianneDelageArt]

Chemical reactions between Resicrete and the dye probably. But they are all beautiful ! It's the most important 😉

[@hollylowery26]

I think you need to show this video to the pigment company and the resin create company. Let them give you the answers. I love this look your going for with your bedroom.

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

I don't have a clue but there gorgeous.

[@kirstybleasdale3118]

Just stunning ❤

[@belindagalle97]

Thank you. 😊

[@Tally_Kolomas]

They turned out beautiful! My first thought was there was colour seperation. The Latté might have some green undertones in it, I haven't used that brand so I'm not familiar. Happy accident!

[@Vendetta_1776]

They are amazing whatever it is Claire 🩵🎉

[@elisashue5086]

Loving the mystery you created. These are gorgeous. Thank you. 😊😊

[@lespetits3628]

Yes I used to work years ago with something similar to resincrete from the Warhammer figurine's world. The chimical reaction is longer than with jesmonite and it's reacting funny with some pigments. I don't know why, but it's like an oxydation with the heavier particules (metallic I suspects) that's why it's always on the bottom in the molds

[@lespetits3628]

I still have a tray initially dark purple that turns dark green in 48h and then lighten over time with a sort of white dusty veil and it's look vintage now 😂 I know it's a pretty crazy turn 😅

[@ewalisiewski1064]

Great video as always 👍 love the tray 😍 I used the ResinCrete to make shell trinket trays in different colors and had similar problem. after demold during drying the colors started to change. the biggest change I saw was with acrylic paint and pigments the I got for Concrete and Jesmonite. I was able to fix some of it by sanding the top layer 2x.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

This is so interesting to me thank you x it's looking like a few people have experienced this

[@vestahome3094]

Wow, so cool but mysterious!! I love it either way! Reading the answers from others cause I'm curious too!

[@Livinas]

[@tammytoth5874]

BEAUTIFUL and ordered some to try

[@mookzmom]

No answers here, but I love it! ❤❤❤

[@craftienannie2013]

wow love the resincrete, the big arc mould,is great, I have made so many of them, latte is my favourite colour at the minute. Oh my that’s amazing I love how it went wrong, please let me know how you did it, I would love the affect xx

[@georgiastewart4479]

Everything turned out so nice! Even with the color change lol. Maybe they are magical moulds 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@MystLily]

Colour change - I've heard someone mention about the pigments we put into eco resin that sometimes a particular colour of the mix will come out due to the temperature as it is set. So each pigment colour we buy is made up of a mix of certain colours and that latte colour must have a green tone in it, but given the fact that jesmonite didn't change the colour, it makes me think it is a reaction of the new product with the air. it would have been interesting to see what happened if you'd tried to do the tray in latte and if that volume of the tray would have changed colour

[@Toonpish]

OMG I think its bewitched and im actually trying this Resin crete at the exact moment lol I will let you know what happens lol . Beautiful though in a fantastic way lol

[@rebeccamoerno8356]

Love love them ❤

[@PrincessScary]

The description under the homeware designs says not to use their colors with resin. I am wondering if resincrete has some sort of encapsulated resin that caused the effect? Whatever the causes, it’s a super happy accident. I loved the result! I’m curious what happens with other colors!

[@artlessordinary]

wonderful video , thank you claire

[@janbuckley1]

Fabulous makes Claire, I neeeeed to get me a tray mould like that. It’s totally word about the colours, maybe something In Resin Crete reacts with something in the colour from Homeware Designs????

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

It's definitely looking that way Jan 😍😍😍 I think this is the case for sure xxx

[@gdworac4219]

I have no idea why you got this result. I loved the video though, and will try Resincrete (once I run out of resin) because of your video. Thanks so much :)

[@carolwalters6469]

Accckkk!! I havent had a chance to use my Homewares pigment since my accident. Now I really want to get in my art room and play! Ill let you know if the same thing happens to my Resincrete.

[@kchaystack]

This is common in soap making with some fragrance oils. Something in the resincrete reacted with the pigment and caused some oxidation and discoloration. You should swatch each pigment with resincrete to see what ones cause the oxidation

[@ZippedUpKitz]

There was an exothermic reaction with the resin-Crete and the pigments which changed the structure of the pigment causing them to not only change color, but darken as well… the exothermic reaction is similar to the flash cure you get with regular two-part epoxy resin when you pour in too deep of a mold…

[@SoPea]

Oooooh! That demould of the tray! WOW! What the heck! This is some paranormal colour morphing kinda shiz! 😱😅💛

[@charlenelesher1198]

I started giggling when the beautiful cappacino color started turning green...right before yours and our eyes. I laughed the whole rest of the video! What a hoot! Strange and happy surprises! I would LOVE to see if any of the other colors in that type of pigment react like that as well! Thank you for another marvelous video. I love it that the tray came out so smooth and shiny!

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Wow. That's...freaky, Claire! I'd be going bananas, too. Okay, I have to assume it's the pigments, themselves? Possibly? As a former fiber dyer, we find out very, very quickly that browns and purples can "break" and turn strange or even hideous colors. Browns can break into greens, oranges, and/or greys (or whatever is used to make that brown). Purples can break into orange, mud, funky taupes, grey, etc..., also depending in which colours were used to make it. a) So...could be a chem reaction between the dyes and Resin Crete. b) If Resin Crete gets hot (?), could be a thermic reaction. c) Least likely, could be a reaction between the dyes and the particular silicone used to make the molds.

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Try purples next! Subbed to ur new channel! 💕😊

Absolutely gorgeous Claire ❤ Thank you so kindly for sharing your wonderful talent and videos with us all ❤Take great care and keep creating your wonderful videos ❤

[@basementcreationsbyrhondat6995]

Never used either of these products so I am no help in what happened🤔, but I did just put in an order for the rein Crete! Love all you projects and stunning results!

[@jayelleart]

That is so weird but interesting! I love them all but the resincreet outcome is my favorite.

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...hmmm...it's hard to discern colors on my tablet, but when you were mixing in the latte coloring, it appeared to have a green component... The candle holders setup while upside down...it's possible that the green component settled at the bottom (which would be the top when unmolded). However, air and humidity could not reach those areas while hardening...but I believe the reaction was due to the exposure to the air, humidity and whatever else that may have been in the atmosphere at the time. The darker green in the one with more latte coloring would somewhat support this theory...and yes, I believe the type of coloring you used affected the way it mixed, and separated, within the Resin Crete... Beautiful pieces though...👍 Matt

[@michelleosborne8951]

My resin Crete objects changed color too. But over 1-2 days. And then I put them in water and that changed them too.. not a completely different color but the edges got much darker purple. And pink turned so dark it looked burgundy. One turned all splotchy colored. Very strange.the pigments I used were powder pigments from ColourArte “Primary Elements “.

[@georginaledlie7444]

They look gorgeous !

[@melissaw5812]

Well, isn't that just a mystery? I know that is not what you were going for BUT I think they look really really cool.

[@evemercier3460]

Ooohhh!!!! A new channel! Yay!!! Hi Claire!! The way you put the resin in the tray, it was so soothing. The color changing is weird but beautiful!

[@klpennock86]

I did read that the water based resincrete your using takes its own pigments. That's what has stopped me trying it as I've invested in jesmonite pigments. 😊

[@SkitchBean_aka_Christine_E]

I love this video. I have resincrete and a different liquid pigment. When I get a chance I'll try latte in the resincrete and let you know. It must be something in the pigment causing the reaction.

[@cindywalker6872]

Firstly.. Gorgeous outcome albeit a conundrum. I am not a scientist nor am I a resin pro but most brown pigments are created using green and red so I am thinking that something in the products reacted strangely and canceled out the red in the warmest part of your mold. An accident yes but a happy one for sure as it is fabulous! 💕

[@michelleosborne8951]

I used resincrete and didn’t make enough. I mixed and poured more. When I was sanding it it fell apart where I added the additional layer of resin Crete

[@karennosakowski1009]

They are all stunning!! The ‘happy accidents’- love the look! Oxidation!! Couldn’t get that if you tried!

[@Becka.M-D]

I wonder what effect you might have if you use a different colour instead of Latte? Maybe use a different light colour & a different dark colour in with the Resincrete. If the colours stay the same then it could be a combination of the ingredients in Resincrete & the Latte colour that causes a reaction. If it happens again but with different colours it could be a combination an ingredient in all the colours reacting with the Resincrete. But it is interesting that the tray did not change colour.

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

Oh my goodness. Well, everything is lovely. I'm going to have to read all of the comments to see if someone knows what happened.

[@eckyfumparkid3096]

Hi Miss Wiggly Fingers 😊 I hope I'm.allowed to ask but please can you make something with resin with the rainbow mould? I have that mould & feeling overwhelmed & would love to see what you do with it🙈 Thank you 😊🌈🩷 xx

I have experienced odd color issues with this product no matter what I try. AmyMade had the same thing happen. The color has faded on all my pieces as well.

Thank you so much Debra 😍😍😍 Ohhhh I am absolutely devoted to the pigments been using them months now and this is the first time we have had a colour shift ... its just so crazy and yet so cool how they're still gawjuss 😍😍😍😍😍

[@sandraatkinson8855]

I have that mold. With transparent pigments the shimmer that comes from the tea light is awesome. I think it is some sort of reaction between the resincrete and you pigments. It looks like it has started growing moss on them. They look stunning! I love the happy accident. I wonder if any of the other colors will change.

[@nini4349]

very pretty, you could try other colours and see what happens

[@kimclayton5814]

I love experimenting! Do other colors, please. I also jumped on the cog wagon 😊just got my order. Can't wait to start! These items you made are beautiful. It is odd that the tray color didn't change too. Hmmm

Just love this and what happened is amazing it gives is a very cool look that noone else will get lol I have used Res2O (which is the same as resincrete used the same pigments as you in a large deep mould and they were fine so really dont know why it changed xxx

[@texas8322]

It's crazy how the color change is in a very particular pattern over the whole bowl. If it was just some kind of general reaction, it would be sporadic in nature. But, it's like it was designed to be that pattern. I hope the manufacturer of the powder can provide you with answers.

[@Nelswifi]

Maybe the water and then air reaction Funny that the exposed bottom hadn’t turned. Please post if you get the answer

[@LouiseSingletonCreations]

Ooh I love these moulds Claire, especially the tealight mould. I don’t use that casting compound but I use Aqua Cast and I’m guessing they are very similar (by the way there is an online calculator on the aqua cast page which works out how much powder and water you need, the ratios are almost the same so it’s worth a try) I once tried colouring Jesmonite with some powdered dye but I can’t remember what it is called, anyway the colours looked amazing but shortly afterwards the colours leached out and also changed colour like yours. I know I was using different pigment to you but as the result was the same I thought I would mention it - some sort of compatibility issue for sure.

[@Og-Judy]

The fact that it is changing after demould is some kind of oxidizing action to components of the pigment to the resincrete given that you said adding more pigment made the effect darker. Wondering if other pigments in the resincrete would also oxidize.?🤔🤷 is it the Pigments or the Resincrete. If other brand pigments do the same in the resincrete, I'd say the issue is with the chemical process of the resincrete.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Yes this makes sense .. I would say uts 100% not the pigments.. I've been using them months now they're totally perfect for jesmonite and actually worked really well in Resincrete also. Until this 🤣🤣🤣

[@camo_customs_7163]

Could be oxidisation if you’ve taken it out the mould too early….. leave the resin Crete in the mould overnight and do the same with jesminite Leave them next to each other ???

[@swcrafting]

Resincrete now comes with it's own color products. When SteveMcDonald used them he did note the colors get darker as the Resincrete dried so maybe that is what happened. Could also be more of the color settled to the bottom part of the mold (which became the top) and as it dried it showed up darker. Resincrete is difficult to color with normal resin pigments this is why JDiction came out with colors for it. I would experiment and use less pigment and see what happens.

[@SunshineSomeday]

Did you use tap water? Could it be a chemical (like chlorine) in the water reacting with the resincrete and the color? If you did use tap water, maybe try again with distilled water?

[@catiescreations4228]

It looks like the green pigment settled to the bottom as the resin Crete was so watery.

[@michelle_resinrebel]

Hi Claire wow that's crazy 🤪, wonder what happened? Your items turned out beautiful 😍 as always thanks for sharing ❤❤❤ xxx

[@littlebella6984]

That is so crazy!!! But yes what a happy accident! They look amazing together.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Claire, the color change is at the top of the pieces... almost like the light is making it change. Does it change of you place them upside down? Could be a UV reaction.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyy Billy ... they haven't changed since. I think the overwhelming view has been regarding viscosity... resin crete is like water. Jesminite is thick. So I guess in resin crete it's possible the pigment separated ? It's a logical explanation but was a crazy discovery. Still, it didn't happen with the tray

[@lorrainea4185]

Candle holders don’t like lattes. Lol. They are beautiful.

[@rosemariediamond5948]

That is so bizarre! It only happened with the latte though not the green. So weird!

[@vezhopkins714]

maybe the mould (light holders) were quite deep so maybe the heat caused condensation and reacted with the colours 🤔

[@peteverb479]

Did you mix it in the same bowl, maybe residue that takes a but to react

[@kristalburns3490]

I wonder if there is a copper component that is reacting and oxidizing.

[@cindyerasmus4061]

Sorry, I can't comment on the color change. I do have a question I have just started with ecocraft resin. 1. How do you take care of your molds. They are not cheap and I would like to get the best out of them. Cindy cape town south Africa

[@mrdovie47]

It looks like pure copper is being oxidized by a chemical reaction. I mixed brass powder with acrylic floor polish once to make a glittery paint and it partly turned green.

[@mrdovie47]

I don't know if they make a mold for one, but an old diver's helmet would be cool with the corroded brass look.

[@colorfulcolorist6532]

Can you try another brown in the resin crete to see if it's something to do with brown pigments reacting with it?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

I definitely do want to play more and test the colours 😍😍😍😍😍

[@amandawhite6894]

I know on the Resincrete I ordered it said not recommended with resin pigments

[@lisaburnham7151]

I actually love how the tea light holders turned out. But, it is strange 😬. I hope J-Diction has a lot of colors that won't change. 😊

[@gourdhead22]

It has to be a chemical reaction with resin Crete and the brand of colorant. Still very pretty but not totally sure. Happy accident are words I use alot... Interested but freaky..😮🤔 hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙

[@dawnr714]

I had some weird reactions with resincrete when trying different colorants. Like different acrylic paint made it thicken within seconds to the point it was too gloppy to even use or another time I added too much alcohol ink and it basically crumbled out of the mold when I demolded it but my pink ink turned brown as the piece cured after demolding. So definitely weird chemical reactions with different things. 😆

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

That's so good to know .. I think I'm going to try different colours 😍😍😍
